Recitation 147

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
ألسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته 
Dear Quran Lovers,
Before we recite surah 95 At-Ti~n, we would like to share our opinion about giving a name to our children. If we wanted to use "Abdul" which means "the bond servant/slave of" make sure they are of the 99 Beautiful and Glorious Names of Allah and nothing else. It is a sin to name our children using, such as: Abdul 'Arasy =  bond servant of the Throne, or Abdul Nabi = bond servant/slave of the Prophet, and so forth. If we were named with such names, it is best for us to have them changed to, such as, delete the word Abdul.
Let us now recite surah 95, At-Ti~n. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
(1) وَاُلتِّينِ وَاُلزَّيْتُونِ = "Wat-Ti~ni Waz-Zai-tu~~n". "Wa" = By, "at-Ti~ni" = the fig, "Wa" = and, "az-Zai-tu~ni" = the olive.
"Wat-Ti~ni Waz-Zai-tu~~n". = (Allah Swears) By the (country where Prophet Noah a.s. lived, the Mesopotamian basin, which grew/still grows the) fig, and (by Jerusalem, the country which grew/still grows) the olive.
(2) وَطُورِسِينِينَ = "Wa T*u~ri Si~ni~~n". "Wa" = And, "T*u~ri" = mount, "Si~ni~ni" = Sinai.
"Wa T*u~ri Si~ni~~n". And (by) Mount Sinai (where Prophet Moses a.s. was revealed with Allah's Revelation).
(3) وَهَذَااُلْبَلَدِ اُلْأَمِينِ = "Wa Ha~dzal-Ba-la-dil-A-mi~~n". "Wa" = and, "Ha~dza~" = this, "al-Ba-la-di" = the country/city, "al-Ami~ni" = the safe, peaceful.
"Wa Ha~dzal-Ba-la-dil-A-mi~~n." = And (by) this peaceful counry/city (Mecca).
(4) لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا اُلْإِنسَنَ فِى~أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
لَقَدْخَلَقْنَااُلْإِنسَنَ = "La Qodd KHo-laqq Nal-Ins~Sa~na", "La Qodd" = In deed, "KHo-laqq" = create, "Na~" = We, "al-Ins~sa~na" = the mankind
فِى~أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمِ = "Fi~ Ah*-sa-ni Taqq-wi~~m". "Fi~" = in, "Ah*-sa-ni" = the best, "taqq-wi~mi" = appraisal, form, quality.
"La Qodd KHo-laqq Nal-Ins~sa~na Fi~~ Ah*-sa-ni Taqq-wi~~m". = In deed, We/Allah had created mankind in the best appraisal, form. (Therefore do not say, or despise those who we see as not beautiful).
(5) (to be continued).

Let us continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
(2) Solat: Water:Tayammum:
   (viii) Solat Of A Person Who Does Not Have Water Nor Earth:
    Those who are in any condition what so ever and do not have any water nor any earth, must perform solat as they are (without Wudhuu or without Ghusul as the case may be) and need not/not Wajib to retake Wudhuu/Ghusul nor to reperform the solat. This is based on the Hadith reported by Aisyah r.a. "I/Aisyah had borrowed a necklace from Asma and lost it. The Prophet s.a.w. sent some of his companions to search for it. In the end, solat time came that they had to perform solat without taking Wudhuu. Then when they returned to the Prophet s.a.w. they told the Prophet s.a.w. what they have done and they had also failed to take Tayammum. Then Usaid ibnu Hudhoir said, "May Allah rewards you for your good deed. By Allah, there is no difficulty that befell on you without Allah betows you a way out and also He gives the Muslims His "Barakah"/ Blessing.". (narrated by Muslim). [The companions had performed solat when they were without water nor earth for Wudhuu. When they told the Prophet s.a.w. about it, the Prophet s.a.w. did not say that they were in error nor asked them to reperform the solat. Nawawi said, "This statement is the strongest basis".]
   (3) Body, Clothing And Place of Solat Must Be Clean: (to be continued).
 Until we meet again in the next session. See you all Quran Lovers later.
